Uddrag
the atmosphere in the story is tense and embossed with the main characters frustration over what has happened.
This frustration is shown in the main characters style of writing. “Floods. Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Extreme heat. Extreme cold.
All on the grandest, most destructive scale witnessed in the thousands of years humans dominated and abused the earth. To the best of my knowledge my family would have drowned in the first days of The End of the World.
Taken by the rising seas.” (ll.11-15) The narrator’s short sentences and negatively charged words, reveals his frustration and sadness when thinking back at these events.
Another example where the narrator’s frustration is shown, is when talking about its family’s deaths. “The cost of coastal living I suppose.” (l.15)
Here the narrator uses irony when talking about the event, which perhaps could be a way of coping with the sad emotions after something unfairly has happened.
